Hi
I would like to adopt and maintain the 'aspell/aspell-dev/aspell-doc and libaspell15'
packages from Gareth Pearce.

Here are the setup.hint files:

=======
sdesc: "A spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell"
ldesc: "GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It
can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its
main feature is that it does a much better job of suggesting possible
replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell
checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell can
also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special
dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale
setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using
multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal
dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once."
